.SH NAME
libssh2_banner_set - set the SSH protocol banner for the local client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_banner_set(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *banner);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function is \fBDEPRECATED\fP. Use \fIlibssh2_session_banner_set(3)\fP
instead!

\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

\fIbanner\fP - A pointer to a user defined banner

Set the banner that will be sent to the remote host when the SSH session is
started with
.BR libssh2_session_handshake(3)
This is optional; a banner corresponding to the protocol and libssh2 version
will be sent by default.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Marked as deprecated since 1.4.0
.SH ERRORS
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
.SH SEE ALSO
